Knowing that some good friends and colleagues still rate Mastodon, and with Meta's social media sites only getting worse, I figure it's time to start posting here again. To kick things off, here's some recent #paleoart of the iconic #sauropod Cetiosaurus in a Jurassic landscape. All the plant recons are based on work by @Palaeojules@sauropods.win. The composition is heavily indebted to a famous (non-palaeo) artwork. #dinosaur #art #fossil
